Baleia jubarte

Entre as baleias grandes mais acrobáticas, as baleias-jubarte são famosas por seus cantos complexos e evocativos entoados pelos machos durante a temporada reprodutiva, podendo durar horas e evoluir ao longo do tempo. Atingindo 16 metros e 30 toneladas, realizam as migrações mais longas de qualquer mamífero. Encontradas em todos os oceanos, alimentam-se de krill e peixes pequenos usando a técnica cooperativa de rede de bolhas.

Geopora arenicola é um pequeno fungo em forma de cálice hipogeu a semisoterado com exterior pálido e peludo e interior liso, que cresce em solos arenosos. Habita solos arenosos bem drenados de dunas costeiras, urzenais arenosos e pradarias secas na Europa temperada. Este fungo ectomicorrízico ou saprotrófico decompõe a matéria orgânica em substratos arenosos pobres em nutrientes.
